Alright, The Busse Woods Bike Trail Video is complete and has been uploaded to the About-Bicycles website!
I just rode and recorded this trail two days ago. Fortunately, I have had the time to put the video together already and I actually think that this is the best bike trail video that I have done so far (well, I would hope that I would be getting better as I do more).
It was a pretty nice day when I recorded the video (a little cloudy but still very acceptable) and I think I have gotten better at the video transitions between scenes. Actually, I think I will back track and redo the transitions that I did in some of the earlier videos because each transition is unique and the transition fx should fit and be used sparingly.
The other thing that worked out very well with this video is the sound track. I don’t have the time or resources to hire a band or orchestra and sound engineer to synchronize the sound track to the movie so I just have to use what I have available. In this case, it is my instrumental recordings (done on a 4 track recorder quite a few years ago).
Well, I added the songs/sound tracks that I had in the order that I liked for each video scene and somehow it ended up being very well synchronized with the video!
If you watch the entire video the music does sync up very well with the video. Unfortunately, based on the Google Analytics statistics that I use for my website I see (based on the average time on each video page) that most people skip through the videos and do not watch them all the way through.
Well, it is asking a lot to have people that are surfin the web to stop and watch an entire 15 minute video but if some of you do, and if you are really into cool bike trails, I think you will enjoy this one. Even if you just check out a few minutes here and there, I still think this one came out pretty well.
I guess this post has gotten a little long and a little technical but I think that some of you may want the inside scoop behind the videos 🙂
OK, here ya go… Here’s the Busse Wood Bike Trail Video!
